so i-- >> schieffer: i bring that up because the very next night when he was on fox, romney himself brought it up, or at least talked about it. here's what he said. >> in a campaign with hundreds if not thousands of speeches and question-and-answer sessions, now and then you're going to say something that doesn't come out right. in this case i said something that's just completely wrong. >> schieffer: so he said-- what does that mean? >> that was astonishing for a whole number of reasons. the first was three weeks ago he was asked the same question and he stood by the essence of what he said. but when you look at that tape that was behind closed doors, it wasn't just a comment. it wasn't just a word. it was a whole exposition. afs an and a on how 47% of the country were shiftless, people who wouldn't take personal responsibility for themselves. he slammed half the country and to say, whoops, i misspoke, is a little unconvincing. as i watched that tape and i waw of watched the debate it reminded me of burns-- all you need in show business is sincerity and if you can fake that, you've got it

how much difference did governor romney make wednesday night. >> look, i think governor romney had a master theatrical performance just this past week but the underpinnings and foundation of that performance were fundamentally dishonest. look, he walked away from the central tenet of his economic theory by saying he had no idea what the president was talking about. ten minutes after the debate even his own staff is walking back his answers on health care and pre-existing conditions so, look, i don't want to take anything away from what i think was a masterful, masterful performance by governor romney but i don't think governor romney's positions have changed and i don't think fundamentally the campaign changed. >> what happened to the president wednesday night? you've seen all the reviews and i'm sure the president has seen the reviews, as well. "new yorker" cover there, shows the empty podium next to mitt romney. the basic line is the president didn't show up on wednesday night. i just want to know when did he know he was beat? >> well, look, george, i think the president understood

thursday night's debate was everything the romney and obama presidential debate had not been. >> you can still preserve the important tant things for middle class taxpayers. >> it's not mathematically possible. >> it's not mathematically possible. it's never been done before. >> it's been done a couple of times. >> it has never been done. >> oh, now you're jack kennedy. >> this tuesday night it's back to the main events. barack obama probably will tone it down a bit from biden's intensity. he's going to try to make romney look insincere. here's how bill clinton pulled it off with a gentle dismissal of bob dole in their town hall-style debate back in 1996. >> i think wisdom comes from age, experience and intelligence. and if you have some of each -- and i have some of each age, some experience, some intelligence. >> i can tell you that i don't think he's too old to be president. it's the age of his ideas that i question. >> that's letting him down easy, isn't it? the question, is his challenger is right there with him some terms of the polling. he has to be perhaps a little more force
